What's the best thing you can do after a disappointing Formula 1 weekend? Get straight back into the swing of things. After their dismal weekend in Azerbaijan involving fires, crashes and two pit-lane starts, Alpine are hopeful of a better return this weekend with the Miami Grand Prix. Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly have already made it across from Baku to the United States - and have made a stop off in North Carolina and Charlotte Motor Speedway. The state and city is the hub of NASCAR - and thanks to a mutual sponsor, Ocon and Gasly teamed up with Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing - owned by 2012 Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski. At the home of the Coke 600 - the longest race in NASCAR - Ocon got to grips the the Ford Mustang that Keselowski and teammate Chris Buescher race. The RFK drivers had a better time of things at the weekend as NASCAR raced in Delaware and the Dover 'Monster Mile.' The race was delayed until Monday due to rain - with Keselowski eighth and Buescher ninth as Martin Truex Jr secured a first win of the season.

No DRS needed. 🔥 @OconEsteban is quickly becoming accustomed to the Next Gen car while @PierreGASLY , @Chris_Buescher & @keselowski look on. @AlpineF1Team | @Castrol pic.twitter.com/Nahg71zYfV — RFK Racing (@RFKracing) May 2, 2023

You can’t get American NASCAR drivers and French F1 drivers together without referencing the “I love crepes” scene from Talladega Nights, which is exactly what @keselowski is doing 😂 @AlpineF1Team | @Castrol pic.twitter.com/NcFRGmvXOa — RFK Racing (@RFKracing) May 2, 2023
